commonly called stenocorynes. They produce longer multifloral inflorescences with much smaller flowers than typical
bifrenarias. In the case here, bright yellow flowers.

other species, flowers are very brightly colored and plants are small. Comparettia coccinea
has the smallest plants and flowers in the genus but is the only one with bright red flowers.

Maxillaria juergensii
One of the smallest species in the
genus, M. juergensii produces clumps that are rarely more than
2" across. Flowers are produced one on each growth, but as the plants branch so much they can be very numerous
and the plants produce a nice effect. Flowers are a bit more than ½" across, very large for the size
of the plants.

|
Maxillaria rufescens
Species has very wide distribution range and thus
is quite variable. The slightly larger than 1" flowers are produced on short individual inflorescences and
are colored yellow to red.

Maxillaria schunkeana
The darkest of the maxillarias. Flowers are almost black (actually a very, very
dark purple-red), are about ¾" across and produced several at at a time, each on its short individual
flower spike. Plants are also compact. Intermediate growers.

Miltonia spectabilis moreliana

tall and more than 3" across, have always dark colors and are produced on fairly short spikes. Warm to intermediate,
rather shady and humid. Easy to grow.

Oncidium croesus
Compact plants produce short spikes
with 2-5 flowers. these are about 1" across, and have a very nice purple-black dot at the lip callus. Warm
growers, these plants like intermediate light conditions and slightly dryer winters.

Oncidium forbesii

type oncidiums. The large (up to about 3" across) flowers are produced on upright but slightly arching branched
inflorescences.

Oncidium jonesianum
One of the rat-tail leafed oncidiums. The ones here are the upright type, with
large (about 2") and showy (good shape and large lip) flowers. Species need to be grown rather dry during
Fall and Winter.

Oncidium lanceanum x sib select
One of the showiest Brazilian oncidiums. A warm-growing species from the Amazon,
it produces upright inflorescences with up to more than 2 dozen flowers that are about 2" or more tall. Pictured
here is a first blooming seedling (very high quality) from this selected batch.

Oncidium nanum x sib select
Another species from the Amazon. Plants produce mule-ear type leaves like O. lanceanum, but never get so big. Inflorescences
are pendulous and the 3/4" flowers are produced up to 100 per inflorescence on mature plants.
2" - 18.00

Rodriguezia lanceolata
A species from the Amazon, these plants are warm growers and prefer intermediate
light. Flowers are the smallest in the genus (about ½" across), but are also the brightest colored
ones.
